Tony Stewart will miss the rest of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season with a broken leg suffered in a sprint car wreck. That will not stop the\u00a0 42-year-old Indiana native from competing in sprint car events when he is healthy.<\/p>\n

Stewart has told multiple reporters that he will continue to race sprint cars.<\/p>\n

This is hardly a surprise from someone who has raced over 100 events in recent seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis race team, (crew chief) Jimmy Carr and those guys are already building his sprint cars for next year,\u2019\u2019 Kendra Jacobs, host of MRN’s ‘Winged Natio<\/a>n’ said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Stewart) will not be staying away from dirt-track racing. This has not affected any of his plans for dirt-track racing. He will be back in dirt-track racing next year. There is absolutely no reason why he would not get back into a sprint car.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Mark Martin will drive Stewart’s car in 12 of the remaining 13 Sprint Cup Series races this season. Austin Dillon will drive the No. 14 at Talladega.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
